I picked up a set of 600/2600 coaches to pull behind my 238E. Looks like all the track was piled in the box on top of the cars so the paint was really beat up. The body shells are good enough that I will leave them alone. Just going to replace the missing handles, coupler covers etc and polish them up. Krylon reds were not quite right and the finish too satiny. Rustolium Apple Red is almost perfect.

those look great Steve, like to get a set someday. Now, just need to find a decent match for my 225E's Gunmetal....

nevr heard of that, where could I find it?
thanks
Steve,
Many thanks for the heads up on the Rustolium Apple Red, have been looking for a close match for a long time, I really like the idea of the Rustolium to eliminate any further rust problem.
Thanks again

Ok, it's been a while since I've been to my local train/hobby shop. I remember it now. thanks for the tip.
Steve, Thanks for the heads up on the paint. I also see that you have a start on two sets, ie, the baggage is the 1940 late high coupler car where as the other two are the earlier 1938-39 cars. They look just fine together, but if I know you from your posts, I am willing to bet you'll be looking for the rest of both sets.... And there is nothing wrong with that either!

Steve,
I actually kind of like them together, with the 238 they will look just fine!
